The meeting listened to an address by Rev
Philip Moxon of Boston. The speaker stated
| in the introduction of his subject that the enc
of education is not knowledge simply mol
skill nor power. but manhood and woman
hood AS men begin to perceive the great
ness and nobility of humanity their ideas o
education begin to broaden and deepen anC
they see that its end is not a specific attain
ment but largeness and ripeness and symme
lry and the development of the whole nature
| A collegiate course of study should never be
looked upon as finishing process, it il
simply an introduction to the more compre
bensive studies of life. The expanding of 6
true education will burst the seams of tbeo
ries Experience enlarges the ideas ant
ideas enlarge the action. The educated mar
is he who can think, who has self possession
not a mere encyclopedias OF facts. Old path'
are not dwelling places but cleared roads FOL
advancing feet. The educated man Will no
be driven, he will not be driven hither anc
thther by the wind of other mems opinions
he will not float on the current of the present,
he will not be the plaything of circumstances
he will not be the slave OF his work. Inc
educated man rightly measures values. Inc
practical materalism in the world more than
ANYTHING else makes life mean and poor,
makes meat more than the life, raiment more
than the body. The value of things Is de
rived solely from their relation to personali
ties The spirit of man consecrates his deeds.
Wealth is but yellow dirt IN the hands OF the
uneducated, but it is benefcient and heath
tul force in the hands of a true man. The
educated man knows how to bring great sen
timents into common activities. He doesn't
despise the real and practical, but he sees
them always in the light of the spiritual.
He ia in the best sense religious man. The
educated man brings to the problems that
confront him not only a disciplined reason
and instructed judgment but the insight OF
real love for his fellow men tie hoios an
his theories subject to the revision of the
deeper and wider knowledge OF human ma,
ture that he will attain. Whatever sphere or
labor he may choose he will suffer no occu-
nation TO divorce him from the comman heart
and common interests of men. His interest
in life is not merely scientific but philan-
thropic. The educated man is the developed
man, He has know ledge, but better he has
sympathy and power. He is not a specialist,
though he mey have his special work; but he
is the full rounded personality. Education
fulfills and iustifief itself in the enrichment
and enlargement of personality and In the
beneficient influence of large and rich per
sonality upon the world.
